Waimanalo Beach: Lysandra Cook Hawaii Portrait Photographer

When I book a session I always include a pre-session consultation either by phone or in person (your choice). We discuss the basics of what to expect during the session and I start to get to know you. I want you to feel comfortable and have fun during our session. Uncomfortable and stiff doesn't photograph well.
I will give feedback on what to wear and we will discuss the type of products you are planning to purchase.

During this discussion clients always ask about the perfect location and often ask about the location of a specific image they saw on my website. I decided to do a series of blog posts showcasing my favorite locations.

Meet Waimanalo Beach Park located on the windward side of Oahu.

I LOVE shooting at Waimanalo because it is a little undiscovered gem and is rarely crowded. I love that it has beautiful white sand and turquoise water with dramatic mountains in the background. I also love the beautiful Ironwood trees and small patches of grass along the shore. It offers a variety of backgrounds in one place. The beach park also has facilities for outfit changes and free parking.

Here are a few shots that show off Waimanalo Beach Park.
